When the Torque Analyzer is turned on and it is connected to a Mountz "Smart" Torque Transducer with ARCII
technology it will display a Screen similar to that below for 5 seconds and then go into Reading Mode. This will also
happen if a "Smart" transducer is disconnected and another smart transducer is connected.

If an un-calibrated transducer is connected then the Analyzer will display a screen as below.
Note:
The PTT supports Non-Smart transducers and Non-Mountz transducers. Non-smart transducers can be
detected and can be calibrated in the "internal" memory. The PTT will offer 2 choices. It offers to calibrate or
choose from a list of transducers stored in the internal memory.

The display holds the first detected torque peak applied. Before any
torque is applied, the display show dashes in the torque value area.
Once peak is detected, the display will show the torque value. If a
second peak is detected then it will be displayed in the lower right (in
small reverse video).
This function is primarily used for testing and calibrating click type
mechanical torque wrenches. The PTT captures the point where the
wrench clicks. This peak may be used for operator training on correct
use of the wrench. Always apply torque smoothly to avoid false first
peak readings.

Note:
First Peak Sensitivity
This feature is provided for click wrenches. It is not relevant for Mountz Break-over
or Cam-over products such as MMTB, TB, TBIH, MTBN, TSN, TSP, and TSC.
High sensitivity will clearly display the "double" peak produced by a click wrench.
Low sensitivity will reduce "false peaks" caused by operator hesitation.
For most click wrenches try using Medium sensitivity this works for many types of
click wrenches such as the Mountz Titan and DM wrenches. As different types of
click wrenches differ in how quickly they move from a first peak (click) to a second
peak (over torque). Some experimentation, with sensitivity, may be required in
order to get repeatable results.

Installation of PTT Interface Software
There is no switch to turn the PTT unit. Just press a key and the unit will power on. When the unit has not been used
for a designated time frame it will enter a “Sleep Mode”. The unit features a processor that checks to see if a key
pressed while it is in the Sleep Mode. There is no significant drain on the batteries.
The PTT is powered using the high capacity Li-Ion batteries for a long battery life. The battery pack should last up to
30 hours with normal use and 16 hours with a brushless transducer with a maximum charge. The battery icon is
always on the display. It is filled in completely when fully charged and shows white space as the battery depletes.

Tool Test Operation
All tool tests must be entered using the PC Windows based Calibration Program. Once this is done the tests can be
accessed using the "Tool Test" soft key on the PTT.
Entering data for the Tool Test is done using the PC Windows based Calibration Program. See the Screen above.
Select the “Tool Tests” tab. Enter the relevant information on this screen such as the Test Name, which is the name by
which the test will be identified on the PTT. Then enter all required information on the screen because once the tool test
is activated on the PTT no changes can be made with the units, tolerances or other information. There is a field for
comments to include user specific information. The transducer being used for the Tool Test must be identified. This is
done to prevent a test being run on a transducer with an inappropriate range.
When entering the “Sensor Model” this must match exactly with the sensor identification that was used to identify the
transducer when it was calibrated. If you are not sure about how the transducer is identified, unplug the transducer from
the PTT unit and plug it back in.
Note - the Sensor Model identification appears on the PTT screen during the initialization.
There are various control buttons to perform operations with this program, these include:

Page 18
There are various control buttons to perform operations with this program, these include:
Save - Saves the Tool Test Setups on the PC so it can be used to run further tests in the future.
Open - Opens previously saved Tool Test Setups.
Send - Send a Tool Test to the PTT. It can store up to 100 tests with 25 readings or 25 tests with100 readings or any
similar combination that does not exceed 2500 results
Delete Test in Meter - Deletes this specific test from the PTT. The operator will be asked for confirmation before the
action takes place.
Download Results - Retrieves the results of a tool test after it has been run. It will offer a change to add further notes to
the test at this point. The results will be saved in the PC in C:\PTT 2000\Tool Test Results\Operator Folder where the
"Operator Folder" will be the name of the Operator entered in the upper portion of the Tool Test Screen. The results are
stored in a .csv file which can be opened in Excel or using a text editor program, such a Notepad. The file name will be
the name given to the tool followed by the date and the time at which to test was started.
Clear Data in Meter - Clears the test data for this Tool Test in the PTT meter. Make sure to Download the Results
before clicking this button. The operator will be asked for confirmation before the action takes place.

Once 1 or more tool tests are sent to the PTT meter the operator can press the "Tool Test" soft key on the PTT and
following Menu choices will appear:

Choose the function desired, from the menu list, by using the Up /Down keys and use Enter key to finalize the selection
highlighted in reverse video.
Select is used to select the desired test from a list of tests that have been downloaded. When an operator selects this
he/she will view an introduction for 3 seconds that provide directions, and then this will display:
Choose Tool Test from List of available tests.
Use Up /Down keys to toggle between tests.
Use Enter to select test.
After the short introduction the operator will see the tool tests displayed and can select the desired test.
Start begins collecting test data. The tool name will be followed by a colon and then the number of data points collected.
Stop ends the test. This is required as some users may want to collect 10 data or others may want to collect 25 points
or more.
Clear Memory allows the test points to be cleared
in the meter itself. The operator will be asked for
confirmation before the action takes place. This
function should only be used if the readings have
been downloaded to the PC or test data is invalid
for some reason.
Once all desired tests are run the operator can
return to the PC to download all Tool Tests stored
in the PTT. During a particular test download the
operator will be given the opportunity to add
further notes to the file stored on the PC.
An example of one Tool Test Result file is shown
on the right.
There is an optional Excel Add-In included on the
PTT CD to perform statistical analysis on the data
from the tool test. It is located in the folder Optional
Excel Statistics Add-In. Follow the instructions in the
readme file, in this folder, to use this Add-In.
